David says "The #Lord" was his #inheritance. "LORD, you alone are my inheritance, my cup of #blessing." Ps 16:5 What inheritance are you waiting for? Could #Jesus be more than you ever imagined? Could "HE" be the blessing you really want/need? Worth a look!

Be careful of seeing "bandits behind trees" (being suspicious, thinking the worst of people/situations). When you do, you may just lose great opportunities. Give people a chance. Hear them out. Be discerning, but seek the truth.

Humility pays #dividends! "Before a #downfall the #heart is #haughty, but #humility comes before #honor." #Proverbs 18:12 #Wise #Wisdom #WisdomforLiving #GodintheRealWorld #GodisPractical #TimelessPrinciples

If you want to be a "real" follower of #Jesus, you will have to be a bit of a #rebel. Jesus rebelled against the establishment, against tradition, against business as usual, against victimization, against impossibilities, against excuses, against self-centeredness… How about

#Down? #Depressed? #Discouraged? Here's a coping mechanism: Jesus said.... “Do not let your #hearts be troubled. You #believe in God; believe also in me." John 14:1 Knowing God... Knowing what He says... and aligning our lives to Him and His ways is good medicine.
